Garret is amazing person and amazing coworker, is a great experience experience to work with him.

I have autism. A few years ago, I fell into the Red Pill rabbit hole. Good thing I’m out. It started out simply searching for dating advice and self improvement content on TH-cam. Some red pill stuff is correct, but it’s also plagued by *A TON* of misinformation. It’s either misogynistic Andrew Tate bullshit, or black pill doomer content. “If you don’t have a 6 pack, your dick is shorter than 8 inches, or you make less than 6 figure salary, you’ll never find love.” Yeah that’s bullshit. And the people who actually believe that are terminally online (like I was). (Btw, there are no actual pills involved. Those are just the names of the dating worldviews.)

What the heck is this video lol

they didn't record my story . they little didn't care for emily as having adhd.

wow <3

@30:12 Im hopeless b/c im fat, bald & short

@26:45 at work i dont even bother beyond hello. never know what the crazy females will do. i cant risk losing my job

Still, all that sex content is irrationally irrelevant. I doubt any of that would have prevented much or any of (bodily integrity) abuse experienced since i am still a target in old age because predators seek victims like me at any age, neverending script. I do think something might benefit at earlier age for those interested and able to get paradigm. But i give advice of self defense skills. Street fighting maybe. For me, all this is far beneath totally worthless. My personal neurology cannot find any absorbable content and it's not some selected ignorance or even disinterest. I agree that keeping me deliberately confused wasn't positive. Yet i have interesting and adventureful life d/t God and luck.

The world is becoming obsessed with neurodiversity and it’s insane and sorrowful. Get a hold on yourself is what my message is. It’s not autism, but really lack of right human interactions and relationships that is creating twisted minds of people. And a big reason is also aversion to religion. Religion keeps a person sane and away from many many vices that we are seeing in the society today. Sad to see all of this shit polluting societies

As an asd1...phyical contact is vital...otherwise where just left with emotioal connection...and thats like driving blind.

Wish I had this class as a senior in high school and newly in collage. It would have helped me avoid a lot of mistakes.

27:08 I tell people "Never let a person become your special interest."

5 minutes in and you've explained exactly why I am terrified of women

This is brilliant and badly needed!!!!

Love this, describes the utter train wreck that was my romantic life. I had to give it up entirely many years ago because Nothing I was doing resulted in a good, reciprocal, loving relationship. ALL my relationships were horrific in some way and None of them resulted in a season of affection and companionship. I wish I had not only known I was autistic then, but had some autistic mentorship back in my college years. It would have changed everything. So glad some people are getting this kind of assistance.

Do not go to school

I don't care whether the toilet paper comes off the top or bottom but I used to think the bottom made it easier to find the end. I was trying to figure out the best way to tear it and found that when it came off the bottom, it was easier to tear. I had to learn that when it comes off the top that it needs to stay on the top to tear or else you will pull too much off. The bottom makes it easier not to pull too much off -

Thank you for doing this and making it available to the public. I’m autistic, a woman (tim mcdraw is just a dumb joke name) and like many women I was diagnosed in my early 40’s. This is in no way a criticism of anything said in this video and i intend it only to add to the conversation with a fact about autistic women. One of the reasons it can be hard to identify young women with autism is the belief that our sociability and the fact that we are high in experiences of all kinds proves that we dont have autism. Many of us were sexually active at an early age. Too early in many cases. And the fact that many autistic women are sexually active at an early age (whether by choice or not) can lead to being very sexually active of their own volition through our life. Sarah Hendrix (sp) talks about this in a lot of her lectures that you can find on TH-cam. Autistic young women can also become active with drugs and alcohol at an early age, my belief is that it comes with women’s and girls’ desire to mask our differences. Anyway, I thought this was important to mention. I have no idea who your audience in the room is, there’s a chance you were speaking to a group of boys or men. I really just wanted to add this to the conversation. Thank you for this video.

I'm an autistic male who's had autogynephilia, fecalphilia and macrophilia since like age five. My question is how the hell can someone like me even begin to feel comfortable being intimate/sexual with a woman? Also, do other autistic males struggle with obscure and extremely taboo sexual fetishes that are likely to scare/confuse or alienate any prospective partners? I have so many questions but so few answers

This is brill uk here no one talks to autistic young adults about this here u can't get help before they hit probs thank u

Beautiful presentation, Thank you So much 👏

Loved everything covered & the advice offered by everyone 🫶 Thank you all so much for bringing together all these lovely people ❤️

Avoid internet searches? I found this on the internet……

But I already know all that stuff. Where can I find the other part of the information? The one nobody talks about because it's assumed our brains do automatically or some shit like that😑

I hate how neurotypicals always assume autistic people can't be sexual at all, especially women. Noticed in fandom spaces again and again how butthurt neurotypicals are about autistic women being sexual, because they expect they are little sexless children so its ped*philia (for those not knowing it in fandom people collectively often talk about which characters are hot and/or should be in a relationship together so this is how this even comes up at all). But this mostly came from the other side which is autistic men, or people perceived as men, being seen as predators. I am also so angry at how my oh so good extremely extensive therapy never talked about sex as something I could ever want, only ever as if it could be forced on me, and only then really rarely, as if its not possible as an autistic person to be sexual. Sex ed like this could really been helpful, even if IMO this was pretty basic.

So happy I just found this! This is needed!

I would trust an autistic person then a normal person. Autistic people don't like to break rules or laws or get in any trouble. I know I don't. it's like the Sandusky. people that have had brain issues do to like getting hit in the head or brain surgery in certain parts like the frontal lob I think they don't have self control. Different story. And if you have been told over and over. You should know better. An autistic person don't like to rock the boat. If they wete told don't they wouldn't

Does he still go to ScenicView Academy? I miss him I haven’t seen him in a long time he was one of the nicest kids with autism I’ve ever met in my life

Wow I’ve really masked being autistic…. Maybe it’s because my mother was ashamed of the diagnosis

This is wonderful! :) Thank you so much for sharing this!

Keep up with your great work

0:57 this wasnt even a joke to me. Thats what I thought too

I really really wish I had access to this kind of talk years ago It's totally what I wish someone would have told me back then.

This was really terrific! I'm so glad I stumbled across it or somehow it found me. I'm 50, diagnosed ASD at 47, & finally left my abusive husband of 13 years this past Spring. My romantic & sexual life before that was a total wreck, too. So even though I learned a lot of these lessons the hard way, I got a lot from this presentation, too. Thank you!

Lol I’m gay and autistic and i saw this on my for you page

Me vine a ver esta vaina porque creo que soy medio autista, permiso.

I myself (16) has autism and was diagnosed from a young age. Even though I have coping mechanisms and now I cope very well I do still experience abuse and hear terms such as ‘your so autistic’ and ‘autistic c***’. This abuse doesn’t affect me as much because of how long I’ve dealt with it and how long I’ve learnt to love autism as a part of me. I’m glad that I have autism because although I’m not neurotypical and don’t think the way as such a ‘normal’ human would I love my personality and myself. I’ve learnt to cope with touches with certain people but even with my close friends I find it hard to even hug them and normally try to avoid it. Anyways I’m going on a bit here but yeah this helped and reading the comments shows I’m really not alone. Don’t get me wrong autism isn’t easy but with the right mental attitude and the right support we can get through it so never give up

My m gave me great advice. find a C.A.T.C.H Compassionate Attentive Trusting Communicative Honest

I have an intellectual disability with autistic social traits. I am extroverted and extremely awkward socially therefore I make enemies instead of friends. I need to find the right people who have ID with ASD. Where I don't know. I am elderly but childlike. Thank you for the nice video, helpful.

Thanks for this TH-cam chat, it is very helpful.

Great list Ian, my main addition is forgiveness. I grew up middle of last century, had an idyllic loving childhood especially my Sicilian mom, yet being youngest became the family neurosis dumbing ground. Dad was autistic driven distant, mom probably Autistic but devoted to me while five year older brother devoted only to his narcissist self! Common comments toward me were "oh it is just you boy" or "why make things so hard" and nicknamed "stupid" and far from it! Listen, miss both parents still love brother but forgiveness is a matter of survival, otherwise an Autistic descends into regret-world ruminating events/hurts/bewilderments endlessly. All pain lies hidden stored deep in body tissues muscles organs nervous system for life! This leads to auto immune disorders, cancers, depressions, dependence on drugs. Begin by eating correctly, stand straight open chest breath deep stretch, smile at people, be proudly Autistic then forgive "most" people alive and dead, remembering always ~~ those that don't learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them ~~

Why flirt? Just say how you feel. What's the point in beating around the bush and acting like idiots?

We're also in danger from family members and fake friends. The ones who know our strengths and weaknesses most are the ones who know how to take advantage of us.

My parents always taught me about sex. Even since I was five. Of course, when I was five, it was more about the "no-no space" and as I grew, the lessons advanced, obviously, but my point is, my family never shied away from the topic, so some of us can and do learn before mistakes occur.

This was really interesting, except if you’re not coming from a Christian background some of this may make you a bit uncomfortable. He is obviously a Christian of some kind. Other than that I think both those who are neurodivergent and those who are neurotypical might want to give this a listen. He explains the development of a relationship as a system that can be learned by anyone including those who are autistic. It’s cool to kind of have some real rules that can help us to figure this out. I think we all struggle with these concepts about dating quite a lot. I know I do and I think this helped, I wish I had seen it earlier. The only other thing I think would be good, would be if he hadn’t glossed over some of the information, not going into a lot of detail, when more detail would have helped. I would be a bit more direct and matter of fact with those I was speaking too, have a very clear, outlined, and detailed speech. Even if I was coming from a somewhat different background, I would probably share that earlier on, or I’d do the opposite and make no mention at all of those differences, if it would make his audience more comfortable as he’s speaking to them. So they could gain most of the important information that might help them and not start wondering about his rather obvious beliefs. I could tell there were aspects of his own speech that we’re making him a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise I think this could be quite helpful to everyone.

Cheers from Brazil.

Being in the spectrum is very tough. I'm still trying to figure myself out at the age of 37

Thank you for this. It is so important. I certainly agree with others here saying that this should be taught in schools to everyone.
